Hello-
My name is Jason and I've been pretty passionate about photography my whole life. I recently decided that I wanted to pursue a career in it. I have a fairly natural gift for shot selection and editing but I'm sorely lacking in the mechanics of photography.
In particular I'm not able to take advantage of even 1/4 of the features on my Nikon due to being a more visual/instructional learner than a reading one. Sorry for the lengthy intro :blushing:, onto the question.
I started researching photography classes to learn things like camera operation and shot composition. So far I've found several 2-4 year programs that teach what I want to learn but these programs also contain:
a) Things I don't feel I need.
b) They're fairly expensive.
Are there workshops or seminars that can teach these skills which would encompass less time/money? I already have a BA in another field and quite honestly I've found it rather useless in application past the actual getting of a job.
I don't want to sacrifice quality of instruction obviously. Just trying to explore all my educational options. Thanks in advance for any replies. Much appreciated.
